The Following are reasons to protect your investment or project with a rain quality control system:
Foundation Problems The expansion and contraction of the soil that surrounds your home is the #1 reason for slab failure. After a period of rainy weather, the soil around the perimeter of your home expands as it becomes saturated with moisture. A dry, hot period following the rain can cause the soil around your foundation to contract and pull away. As this cycle repeats, the support to the foundation can lead to cracked masonry.
A properly designed and installed gutter system keeps the soil surrounding your foundation at a consistent moisture level by directing runoff safely away from the property.
Damage to landscape Plants, flowers, mulch and soil located under the drip line of roofing without gutters can suffer from water runoff of a thunderstorm. Additionally, this runoff can result in an over watering condition that could permit harmful fungus to develop as well as attract ant, roaches and termites.
Staining of Masonry and Siding Rainwater cascading off a non-guttered roof will hit the ground with enough force to cause a splash back. Within these splash backs are dirt, grass and minerals that end up on the exterior of the property. Over a short period of time, a stain appears that can be difficult to remove or hide.
